My parents were cleaning out my grandfathers saftey deposit box. There was a nice stash of old coins (mostly well circulated) including quite a bit of stuff from the 1860-1880's the family is going to take them to a local dealer to sell them all off, except for a few I have offered to by, so I have a few nice items for my small collection
There was one item though that I have no idea what it is..
On the obverse is a potrait of Abraham Lincoln facing to the right side of the coin
It says 16th President USA across the top of the Obverse and below that has the dates of his presidency
under his potrait it says Abraham Lincoln
ON the revese around the rim it say Honest Old Abe the Great Emancipator
On the reverse in the middle there is VERY tiny print
There are three "short paragraphs" on the back
The first says The most Revered American
The middle one says Served as President throughout the Great Civil War
and lastly
noted for his immortal gettysburg address
It has been "holed" at the top....I am just trying to pass along to my family what this is, and what information I can find out about it and what it might be worth. Can anyone help out! I would be happy to send a scan via email. If so, just send me a PM here..maybe someone more computer literate than me could post the scan here as well.
Thanks in advance for all of you help!
